look for jobs, i look for everything i can to make this pass. and i end up doing is testing the road to the american dream, paved with dead refugees. at this very idealized image of the older america, native americans look past the death that happened. every single day. this is a modern history of the usa, america on r t i me good evening, hot waters, infrastructure roads, rail bridges, waterways and the high speed internet. how about universal pre k job skills, training and technical education, elder care and environmental sustainability efforts? the path to a comprehensive infrastructure package for america's ailing system was always the

road less traveled. american politicians have kicked the can down the road for far too long, leaving the nation with bridges, one national disaster away from collapse, waterways threatening flooding into communities, and a high speed rail and amtrak expansion projects that are continually delayed. let's dig deeper on the last 2 report cards from the american society of civil engineers, us infrastructure for a deep plus and in 2018. the report urge the u. s. government and private sector to increase the infrastructure spending by at least 2 trillion dollars over the next 10 years. that may sound daunting. but if necessary, bailing infrastructure is tied to a country's economic downfall. the by the administration took infrastructure seriously initiating a multi trillion dollar package that spoke to the needs of a nation impair. that package was quickly shot down by republicans who didn't believe in the human infrastructure,

infrastructure aspects of the package and refused the tax. well, the corporations and billionaires now a bipartisan infrastructure bill, a $973000000000.00 package, is getting the president by taking it on the road, trying to build coalitions around it. but this is a new bill of victory did by make too many concessions from the original package. only time will tell, but the battle royal is already set with how speaker nancy pelosi ballad to hold up the bipartisan infrastructure deal until the senate approved the larger 2 trillion dollar infrastructure plant. republicans are livid and democrats are split. and on another front, the centers for disease control and prevention extended the eviction war toria through july. the band was originally set to expire this week. it's a brief reprieve that only further highlights the housing and security crisis across america, where nearly 7 1000000 tenants are currently behind on rent. and the homeless

numbers are set to search in just a few weeks. let's start watching the hawks. if you want to know what's going on a city and you want to rush plug this, let me show you what rises you always, the roy gross, right? math grade or ha, leave them a deception. manipulate so much this webpage. so hope you're welcome everybody to watching the hawk. i'm myisha cross. joining me now is richard, professor of economics and international bears and co founder of democracy work. good to see you, professor. good to be here. thank you. well, professor wolf, america's broken infrastructure is no secret to anyone. and i know especially not to you. after decades of kicking the can down the road and stronger instances of natural disasters, we've reached crisis mode with 2 infrastructure bills in front of them. what is the

democrats play now and can the, by the administration count on a bipartisan bill, actually getting the both it needs and the senate from republican well, what you have are 2 things that are clashing on the one hand, as you rightly say, we have been taking this 10 down the road, the convenient thing was to not spend money on infrastructure in the hopes that people wouldn't notice till the politician couldn't run around saying she didn't raise your taxes. and therefore, you should vote for me because he hoped, or she hoped that you wouldn't notice and couldn't see that the infrastructure that we all the end on the roads, the highways, the bridges, all of that wasn't being taken care of a little bit like what we're learning about that horrible collapse of the building outside of miami and we have to face that and they haven't wanted to do it. now we had in the, in a sense the emerging urgency of it plus an economic system that has crashed and

that means the government to come in to save the bows under president trump. now under biden, massive amounts of money are being spent by the government. because without it, our economy is going to change. so we have a compromise, we're going to spend it on infrastructure. but here's the real tragedy. because the republicans want to appear to be those who save us from taxes. they whittle down what the democrats want to spend, and the end result is too little and it's too late and it doesn't deal with the problem. and so i'm very worried that in all this maneuvering in the end, the government won't come in and the private sector will continue its decline. i think he might have just hit the nail on the hair head there. i think that's the worry of a lot of people across the country who were invested in the initial infrastructure plan. professor, the initial plan was 2 trillion dollars. it focused on

a broad set of infrastructure goodies and an expanded definition of the term that took hit from republicans and some moderate democrats. do you think speaker pelosi is taking the right stance and basically holding up the bi partisan much smaller package until the senate moved on the larger one. what could this play mean for everyday american? well, you know it's, it's this maneuvering. i hope she can pull it off, but i've, i've been around long enough as i know you had to know that one thing you say. and then 2 days later in the back room, something gets worked out and everybody comes up with some pace saving kind of p r that the dish out on the media. and we all have to live with the results. it's not a good sign that the president goes back down. it's not a good sign that she's only saying these things at the last minute. and in the, in the end, i think corporations are laughing all the way to the bank that they've got these

politicians bickering with one another about how to cut back when what they know. and we know is that the government has this that been even more nationally than it has or risks, real economic collapse. and that's the reality. we are on a government wide support for this economy. you may not like it, you may not want to place it, but that doesn't make it go away. and my fear is, this is kind of fiddling while rome burns here. this is time taken away. this is money that has to be spent is back, is not, was with us, or will we know that biden is actually out on the road today? do you think that that ro show will work, or is he caving to republicans that won't ever support the bipartisan deal anyway? we know that, that the, both in the senate are still a little bit eerie. do you think that this bipartisan deal actually, even thing is a chance and is the road show just trying to say, face, at this point?

that's my fear. because you know, if the president is willing to put his reputation on the line and go around the country, which i support. and then even doing this weeks ago, he should have been building up the pressure to let the politicians know that if they don't support this, he is out there building up the momentum that will give them a reason to hesitate because of their own political skin being in the game, to wait this long to make that concessions, and then to go out, seems to me to lose all the power that going out and being the president who all the people to help him get something through. that could've been a very powerful move. but it could have been, should have been done much earlier. and professor, we only have a few seconds left. but the cdc extended the moratorium on evictions through the

end of july bill that provides just a few more weeks of safety. for many, many people across america, what do we need to do? long term housing insecurity is very real. and this, this moratorium isn't going to last forever. well, i'm flabbergasted by there's, this is a government that has no plan. it's going month by month, literally week by week, people are agonized because they don't know how to going to solve this problem. another few weeks down the road is hardly comfort. we have no now for 16 months that people are not paying rent and that this is a problem for the landlord. you've got have a plan, then that saves people from paying rent, they can't afford, and then the helps. the landlords are confronted with this, particularly the little ones, the mom and pop, who rent out an apartment or 2 in their home. we should have had a plan using a tax program that goes after the rich people who become richer during called it to

have a fund that helps the land, the small landlords, so that the people don't have to be a bit of the landlord. don't have to go bankrupt. those were the problems. we knew that for 16 months, and instead of dealing with it, we have this endless gains playing that simply postpones the catastrophe. $7000000.00 people out on the street will be a political and economic catastrophe. and everybody has known that for months couldn't agree with you more professor wolf and the white house honestly should be giving you a call. thanks so much for joining us and informing our audience. thank you for having me. the summer olympics just keep bringing controversy missile around. it's not cobit related, elliptic organizers, more specifically in international olympic committee. spokes person told yahoo sports on monday that it is quote, highly unlikely that unaccredited people from overseas,

which includes if it's and caregivers will be granted entry into japan for the game folks. that's a family separation policy. there seems to be a very narrow piece of wiggle room in special circumstances. but overall olympians with young kids are forced to compete at the highest level. millions and millions of miles away from their baby. mothers have tried to get exceptions for the draconian rules, but to no avail. the youngest children are often still breastfeeding and not being able to while their moms prepare and compete, puts those kids the disadvantage. the culture wars or heating up to let's be honest, republicans just won't let them die. when barry is facing a barrage of attacks from the right in the wake of her protest on the podium during the olympic trials of the weekend, the hammer thorough refused to acknowledge the national anthem. fox news hope sean handy said barry shouldn't be allowed to represent the usa at the olympics at all.

but the bind whitehouse took a different tone highlighting free speech and people protest right here to break it all down is r t sports producer for gina han. good to have your gina. thank you for having me. where we're gina. i just like i told you before the show you are always the bear. a bad news, but we're ready for it regina. this is a story that's not new. there women, women athletes choosing to have children or deciding when to start their families and being essentially punished for that is something that they've been dealing with for a long time. there was already a concern about female athletes or among female athletes about being separated from their kid. but now we're seeing this be elevated and heightened in a different way. we're talking mothers being separated from babies, still breastfeeding children for the duration of the olympics. and the ios, these seems to the port that what type of messages in the sending to female athletes. i think it's the message, it's pretty clear that you want to come to the olympics. maybe put whatever plans you have for your personal life on hold. and now to play devil's advocate, there will be some like, you know, what if there's somebody really, really want maybe then that isn't the best time. but if you're

a woman or someone who is able to have children, and this is something that maybe just happened, you're looking at and the facing ok. what am i supposed to do for 2328 days away from my child that i'm still feeding, nourishing and keeping alive. and so, you know, the, i see the need to go organizing. committee said, you know, there might be special circumstances regards and children. they'll consult with the see on that. that was like a little tiny crack in that door myisha and you know, one canadian bass player can goucher. she said back in march, you know, you're making me choose between breastfeeding my child and being olympian. and why should i have to make that? why should i make that sacrifice? absolutely, i think equal to a very strong thing here because mil limpy and also have children and they're not being that we don't see the same type of controversy they have babies as well. but now the moms are being extremely punished. it appears and they're raising their voice is do you think anything's going to change? no, i think that's always how it's been with olympians and z. my plates in general, you know, or so we enter williams, for example here where the cat,

through the french open. because she had issues post birth with her daughter who are, oh my gosh, you maybe shouldn't have come back. it's that same stereotype that you know, you can be a male and have children to be an app that you can't be a woman who's had a child to be an app because you know what? motherhood just so much more important. and there are, you know, conservative stand on free speech rights and protests, right? 247 until it happens to be with an african american who does not want to stand for the pledge of allegiance or who does not want to be in for the national anthem. so we're seeing this attack on when barry specifically from leaders on the right who feel as though she's being an american. what do you, what are your thoughts on that? and this is me, michael, that this is someone who is a active black lives matter protester and somebody who has been standing on this for years. i'd say that to protest is one of the most american things protest, healthily. we're not talking insurrection. we're talking like stand up for something that is a legitimate issue like systemic racism or a country. she's been doing the most america thing. we have a right to purchase in our constitution. you know,

the republicans said take it like they're attacking, she's attacking their patriotism. patriotism can still be criticizing your country and that is what she's doing. so the call to be pulled off the olympic team. i think that's on american because you're now telling a woman who's representing a part of our founding principles to protest as an american, against your government, you're allowed, they're saying, you know, i mean, you don't like it because you're not doing it the way we think. you should be doing your mentally right and we're going to have to definitely have you back regina cuz we're running out of time. but thanks for joining no problem. as we go to break, remember that you can also start watching the house on demand to the new portable tv available on all platforms. coming up, we'll explore why conservative are raging a race more with the pentagon. they to, to watching the ha ah

ah, ah news, ah, hell provision on my back on our own. okay. your trucking last year. so you'll have a lost his bus because i just got the new program. he just got to go area. we're going to be, i'm on my cell, my those yesterday, but i mean so in that sense, you know what it was, you know, so my pull up, i got your notice on my, almost what i'm already, whatever spits up i really just got to go in i mean, we had a lot, we can think when we went up and i mean really here, so i just don't get on to say that it's faded to santo that i'm one of this,

but i was like, i was just sort of last month. i didn't go to kind of one, but you're just part of that. yes, i don't think i was calling with you and your team, samantha katie. yeah, my thought a lot of problem. you just gotta go to having a child introducing and found to, to a family when a new mother is going through that process. yeah, there's certainly tremendous cause for great joy, but because it's an event that causes so many different changes. it's stressful, at many levels. ah, me conservative love to get fired of anger and always being in

bite move seems to be what defines them. well that and ignoring america's racism, white supremacy, elders are fighting words for republicans that my friends is why the big bear boogie man critical race theory just has to be stopped. joking, joking, would know on a serious note, republicans have a few things more than racism being brought to the forefront and walked chairman of the joint chief mark, milly last wednesday, the secretary of defense lloyd, often in general, milly appeared before the house armed services committee to talk about the 2022 defense department budget. during that hearing accuse, child sex trafficker representative mack gave decided to throw out critical race theory in the u. s. military and express upset at the military. speaking of its history, a poor behavior towards black service members. millie made a pain taking li, clear that c r t isn't taught in the military,

but reminded conservative that west point is a college of the open minded and well read in what followed that statement was a passionate defense, a black history, and acknowledging atrocities that defense has been viewed over 6000000 times on twitter, one line in particular that conservative, raging melissa quote. and i want to understand white rage and i'm white. and i want to understand it. so what is it that costs thousands of people to assault this building and tried to overturn the constitution of the united states from america? what caused that? i want to find out. i want to leave the same party that swears up and down. patriotism is there, north star, and the love of the military is who they are. are now attacking the military and threatening that it should be be funded. my how the tables have turned in, start racing, any discussion. and republicans lose the value they espouse. well, with the exception of white supremacy that values here to stay. joining me now for

a deeper dive into general milly statements and how the military of grappling with the racial reckoning is richard berkshire, executive director of black veterans project. good, see richard. you as well. thank you for having me. well, richard, i know that you're on the front lines of this and have been for a while general milli wasn't even prime to discuss critical race theory or race much at all at that hearing. conservative kind of tried to box the mean and the 1st black defense secretary lloyd, often at the same time what republicans got in return was probably the most astute recognition of the importance of black history. how white supremacy caused the january 6th and direction and the dangers it poses for the nation. what are your thoughts on the mili testimony that's now been seen over 6000000 times on twitter? i thought it was courageous, but i'll contextualize that by saying that the 1st black secretary, this man could not o pine in the same way and the chairman could write. and so he was being an ally in that moment and leading in to something that the secretary of defense didn't have

the capacity to say he had the capacity. but he didn't have the political, i guess climate to be worth right about. and so i think it was an important conversation here, basically define critical race theory for the most part and said that it's, it's a necessary component of how we teach american history in for the fostering of an inclusive military. that's central to you know, the maintenance of the democratic project. but i also, i thought it was really interesting when you said that the right wants to be fun. the military, i'm totally for that. i mean, we don't agree on, but certainly for that. and the racial reckoning we, we discussed the previously is not a term that at least black people all jump on board with, but it seems to make it in white circles. the racial reckoning is they call it a term coined after the murder of george floyd is taking place across multiple sectors. it's not just about police reform. how do you see it playing out the

military? what's funny, because i was talking about racial reckoning in the terminology this morning and made a jo, it's really a term to attract white people because we know that black people in america always undergoing this racial reckoning agreement. it's permeating particular people who are in positions of power to potentially change the status, the status quo. so as i lost track of your question that you repeat the last part. so how was this playing out in the military? we saw that the racial reckoning in terms the police were form. you know, they're specific things that activists are asking for. what do you think is happening in the, in the military? what are black either? you know, current service men or those who are veterans like yourself, what is the expectation? what are you asking of the military in terms of reaching that racial reckoning were asked for 2 things, decency and transparency, right? the military has had protocols in place really tend to be segregated fully in vietnam, but it hasn't actually lived up to its duty really to protect the service members

that they've integrated into this institution. and so what we're asking for the black veterans project as a 1st step is transparency around racial bias survey data. we were able to push to get one year's worth of that data release only 2017, which was pretty damning. it said one in for service members, it's seen white nationalism in the ranks. this is one year into the trump presidency, i imagine commanded sentiment. but it also said that $1.00 and $3.00 minority service members felt uncomfortable and would likely not speak up about issues of racial discrimination for fear of retribution. so this is just scratching the surface to some of the issues that we know exist and have and have historically. and so, you know, i always make the correlation that, you know, doing the due diligence around reading our white premises. and i think the secretary of defense is kind of emphasis on extreme is, is the wrong step. i think it's a starting point, but extreme,

it's always been there. and right now you can belong to a group. and still, 3rd, you have to actually commit a crime to get kicked out. i think it's a very low bar. it's a military. it can be on apologize about how it moves forward with the policy when you have something like, don't ask, don't tell that was put in place if the which fund again to l g b t q, people being able to serve openly. certainly the military has a capacity to discriminate, shouldn't want to, we're just asking to discriminate against those can discriminate. so it's not a, it's not a big alpha for whatever reason. and the implications are, there are people at all levels of the military that will be imitated. right, who may very well be at risk of losing their jobs and defense secretary lloyd austin. he has a heavy load ahead of them. one goal is to root out central radicalization of the military. like he just spoke of white supremacists and dismantling a system that historically hasn't benefited black service members. do you think we will see progress on these fronts and did general milli statement signal that

progress is a possibility? i think that statement was certainly historic in many respects. well, i mean, we had a black commander in chief, right. so, i mean, i don't necessarily know 11 black man at the helm of this machine is going to be able to trickle down the kind of shifts that we really need. it's going to take, it's going to take time and perhaps you planning to be there. what, what i've been saying is we need to be full transparency. i think military institution has gone on its own, you know, has been on its own in many respects and determining what race, what equity looks like. and that's expensive for working class people specifically for working people of color. and so that the more provocative conversation. but certainly i think that there are being taken that will be in hopefully a major shift in the military. and, you know, one thing i like to also kind of note is that we have a diminishing military, right? when we might, at one point we had a military that was so expansive that it touched the upwards of 30 percent of the

population. right? if you look at world war 2, now you have less than one percent of people who sir. and so this is a very elite view, right? and so there's a lack of diversity in the special operations core, which will likely end up predominating in the years to come. when we think about how technology is shifting, the way in which our military even appears and organize it. so all of these things are deeply important and they have to be confronted because the military, like everything else in american society passed to shift left a lot to think about richer berkshire. and we're definitely going to have to have you back on to pack more. thanks so much for joining us. thank you. and that is our show for you today. i'm myisha cross. don't forget to keep watching those hog and have a great day and night everyone. ah, ah, ah ah

ah, ah, ah ah, ah. the provision on my back on the water bill is under state like august. lucky you lucky the last year. so you'll have to i lost his bus because i just got the new program. he just got to read you. we started on monday and i thought my daughter was up as well. so i said, you know,

but it was the same. i pulled up. i got, you know, just, i mean my, almost what i'm already whatever spits up i read me, just go on. i remember when we went up and i really just don't get time to respect those that it's faded to handle that. i'm one of this, but i was like obviously this is what it is. i'm looking for my family to go to kind of all my just part of that. yes. at west village and he thought of the thing i was calling with you and your team, samantha katie. yeah. my thought a lot of problem. you just got to go. yeah, i still think the cops right on police report and all cast in december 2020 a group of angie finishes. fill out a film crew access for 3 months people, organization. it's an idea that must be opposed that channel out the gate route.

they make their faces, but they can say what they believe in, we believe and help our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to the united states has gotten driven. a chance to see who and teeth are really in order for me. my 1st amendment rights and say that my life matter, i have to be onto the teachers that we can't trust the police. we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in having a child introducing and found to, to a family when a new mother is going through that process. yeah, there's certainly tremendous cause for great joy, but because it's an event that causes so many different changes. it's stressful at many levels as we do at the end of almost every quarter,

the gotta like, look back, look forward. where are we in all this crazy world we live in the, the highest court in texas rules. facebook is liable for lovingly, but everything from sex traffic of this comes with several victims through the company. failing to protect them from abuses, they mean they were forced into prostitution. why the network? us state department issues, a warning telling americans not to travel from russia, placing the country on the seamless syria, uganda. and i've got a song for reasons including suppose terrorism and a group of british m. p 's hand across all he led to belmont prison in which they demand the right to visit wikileaks cove. on a julian a sons, we hear from a former leader of the opposition. it was among those taking part. so i've often spoken.
